This book was interesting. There were quite a few plot twists throughout the story, so you never could tell exactly where it was going.
However, some parts of the story seemed a bit slow. I always found myself putting the book down during those times and never really wanting to return to it, thus making the time to read this book longer.

The most interesting bits were the descriptions of the post-Katrina New Orleans and life in the city immediately following the disaster. ...more

The best thing about this book was the build-up and aftermath of Katrina. I thought it was well done. The rest? Eh. The pacing was a bit slow, picking up more at the end. I don't think any of the main characters Drusilla (whoops! I mean DJ), Jake, and Alex were particularly memorable.
